Repository Group Template

Purpose

These Gradle files serve as a "glue" for your IHMC projects. Use it to perform Gradle operations on many projects at once, such as "Import" into an IDE.

These files are compatible with projects that use the ihmc-build plugin, however, you may clone non-ihmc-build repositories into this group, you will just need to import them into your IDE seperately, and they will not be included in the main build.

Starting from scratch

Use repository-collections or build the repo structure manually:

• git clone this repository.
• cd repository-group
• git clone project repositories into it.

Normally, nesting Git repos inside each other is frowned upon, but in this case, the .gitignore uses a whitelist instead of a blacklist, so your repos won't be affected by Git operations on repository-group.

Maintaining the workspace

We provide recursive git scripts in the .tools directory to help keep your group up to date.

# Perform Git operation on all repos including this one
repository-group $ .tools/git_recursive.sh [git args ...]

# Delete local branches after the PR has been merged.
repository-group $ .tools/git_recursive_delete_merged_branches.sh

# Reset to a branch and rebase it with develop.
# WARNING: Discard local changes first!
# This checks out develop, pulls, fetches,
# checks out, and rebases your branch onto develop.
repository-group $ .tools/git_recursive_reset_branch.sh branch-name

# Examples:

# Fetch all repos 
repository-group $ .tools/git_recursive.sh fetch --all

# Start working on your feature and make sure you're up to date with develop
repository-group $ .tools/git_recursive_reset_branch.sh feature/improvements

Convert your existing folder to a repository-group

If you already have some repositories cloned, you can initialize this repository over it.

cd /path/to/existing-group
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/ihmcrobotics/repository-group.git
git fetch
git checkout -b develop
git reset origin/develop --hard
git branch --set-upstream-to origin/develop develop

Cleaning up build files

Run gradle cleanBuild --console=plain to clean all build/ (Gradle), bin/ (Eclipse IDE), and out/ (IntelliJ IDE) build directories.

This sometimes helps to forces IDEs to recompile the code when state becomes inconsistent.

Gradle install scripts

This repo contains helper scripts (in the .tools directory) to install Gradle system-wide. There are installation scripts for both Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows.

Linux usage:

cd repository-group/.tools
sudo bash installGradle-<version>.sh

Windows usage:
Open a file explorer to the repository-group/tools directory. Right click on installGradle-<version>.bat and click Run as administrator.

Support is provided through Github issues.
